The first book to do this, Graphic Justice broadens our understanding of law and justice as part of our human world-a world that is inhabited not simply by legal concepts and institutions alone, but also by narratives, stories, fantasies, images, and other cultural articulations of human meaning. Accordingly, and spanning a wide variety of approaches and topics from an international array of contributors, Graphic Justice draws comics and graphic fiction into the range of critical resources available to the academic study of law. Far from being unsophisticated mass entertainment, comics and graphic fiction both imbue our contemporary culture, and are themselves imbued, with the concerns of law and justice. From: The intersections of law and contemporary culture are vital for comprehending the meaning and significance of law in today’s world. Using a deconstructive framework from the work of Jacques Derrida as well as the concept of 'critical art' proffered by Jacques Ranciere, the chapter illustrates how the dystopian character of Judge Dredd warns of the Obama Administration's executive orders which blur the actions of a judge, jury and executioner. In this chapter the author argues that the satirical 2000 AD comics 'Judge Dredd' can be utilised to offer an aesthetic and legal critique of the Obama Administration's drone propgramme, which reached a controversial climax in its 2013 operations.
